[QUOTE=alihashmatkhoso;834671][B]quite lengthy and tricky subjects you have opt, these all are challenging subjects, except U.S history. furthermore while talking about I.Law one can say it is justifyable. on the other hand, Geography, previously it consisted on 200 marks and now 100, agriculture and forestry were two seperate subjects of 100+100 marks, it means you are going to cover subjects of 400 marks for 200 only. it is time taking honestly speaking. now come on the I.R, just go through syllabs and guage it, firstly it is lengthy and secondly everyone is going with IR or Pol science thus as i have observed both are going to prove deleterious. :) stay blessed [/B][/QUOTE]

Syllabus of Forestry and Agriculture is reduced as compared to individual papers of past.

Suggest me an optional subject of 100 marks.

I have selected the following subjects constituting 500 marks.[LIST][*]Punjabi[*]Agriculture & Forestry[*]History of Pakistan & India[*]Criminology[*]Town Planning & Urban Management[/LIST]

you have to skip one subject from your combination and choose subject of 200 marks from the 1st two groups.

geology and mathemetics are left,both impossible unless u have expertise in them,take one of 200 and opt 4 of 100

I intend to choose the following subjects for CSS 2016:
Indo Pak history
International relations
Sociology
Governance and public policy
muslim law and jurisprudence

subject selection for engineer having no background in any subject
 

Dear friends I need your help regarding subject selection
my choice until now is

IR
USA history
journalism
international law
public administration.

are these Ok or should I make some changes
thanks

[QUOTE=alihashmatkhoso;834695][B]to me it is the best combination, score snatching one go ahead with these subjects InshAllah you will hit yoyr tareget ... stay blessed[/B][/QUOTE]


Hey, bro. Kind take a look at my optionals for CE-2016 and let me know if it is a sane combination.
I've decided to go for
Psychology
British History
Environmental sciences
Geology
Public Administrations
Criminology
I am really confused between criminology and philosophy. Furthermore, Environmental Sciences or Gender Studies, which one seems better?
Seniors, please comment.
P.s. Psychology and British History were opted by me for 2015 attempt so I have a background for these. Since school days, I am inclined towards science so Science subjects are doable for me. Done my masters in English Literature so kindly guide accordingly.

You can't opt Geology only from 2nd group you have to complete 200 marks from that group. Criminology is easier than philosophy and choose according to your interest as gender study and environmental sci both are not difficult to understand.

I am going with same combination except Geography instead of Journalism. Journalism ruined aspirants in last two times. I will advice to reconsider journalism if you dont have background. And, do check last two past papers and compare them with decade before them.

[QUOTE=Anum Zara;824930]Mine optional subjects are
History of USA 100 marks
Psychology 100 marks
Philosophy 100 marks
Business Administration 100 marks

I am confused about 200 marks. I have done BCom and I am a MCom second semester student. Accounting is tricky and risky subject for me. Do not wanna attempt Accounting and Auditing. If I select Economics I have studied Micro,Macro, Pakistan Economy and Managerial Economics in Bcom and MCom. Will it be easy for me to cover the syllabus or should I choose Political Science or International Relations? Which one is easy to cover and marks gaining in your opinion? I perform well in theoretical subjects.[/QUOTE]

Go for IR. Its easy and understandable. I am opting IR,US,Geo,Int Law, Public Ad.

Leave the Business Administration rest are good combination.
For essay: initiate with expansion writings of 200/300 words and try to focus on grammatical errors also try to check it by good teacher.
During training at Sihala you ll face shortage of time for CSS preparation.

Dear if you are khan as your surname indicates and can read and write pashto the select pashto as optional because regional languages so far are one of the best marks fetching optionals.

And as you have decided not to opt pashto this time so consider US history then, because it is scoring.

what is your opinion about Public admistration?

Computer science
public administration
muslim law
psychology
gender studies

my optional subjects are pol. science, I. Law, us history, governance and public policy and pashto.

Hi,

It would be my first time giving css exams. I have opted for these subjects:

IR
Town Planning & Urban Management
Agriculture & Forestry
Criminology
Psychology

I have a good background in Psychology and I also find criminology interesting as a new subject but I am hesitating to go for it as i think i won't find enough material for it. But i don't want to chose a historical subject too as i think i would find it too boring. In short I am really stuck between choosing history of USA and criminology.

Please help me in that aspect. I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

muslim law or international law
 

which one is better to opt muslim law or int. law for css'16??:glare:

I have opted ILaw :) its very Interesting subject, it would be a good choice :)
